My daughter, who is 1 year and 4 months old, has a high fever of 39 degrees. X-rays show pneumonia, and she is receiving intravenous drips.

Patient's question:

7:30 PM on July 4th, fevered up to 38.5 and went to the County People's Hospital

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotic treatment for pneumonia should be initiated as early as possible, and the first dose of antibiotic should be administered immediately once pneumonia is suspected. After the condition stabilizes, treatment can be transitioned from intravenous to oral administration. The course of antibiotic treatment for pneumonia should be at least 5 days, with most patients requiring 7-10 days or a longer course.
